thanks for your reply Ed
Sounds like I´d better take it to the dealer and let them fix it.
They said they could do it. I got the impression it was just a minor fix.
Price was just too high. Don´t remember the exact amount but it made me
wonder if I should buy a "new" one instead.
The problem is maybe partly due to me not handling it that well.
There was quite a bit of dust inside when I opened just couple of months
ago.
